Benjamín Mayorga announced a field visit at the Port of Acajutla as part of the Second Edition of the Diploma Program in Customs Anti-Corruption, an initiative developed in coordination with multiple Salvadoran institutions and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
The visit brought together participants involved in specialized training focused on transparency, customs modernization, and the prevention of illicit trade activities. During the tour, officials shared firsthand information about port operations, customs procedures, cargo inspection processes, and the technological tools currently being implemented to facilitate trade and strengthen institutional oversight.
The initiative is being carried out in collaboration with institutions including Supreme Court of Justice of El Salvador, National Judicial Council of El Salvador, Attorney General’s Office of El Salvador, and Ministry of Finance of El Salvador.
Authorities emphasized that programs of this kind help reinforce inter-institutional cooperation while providing technical training for professionals working to improve ethics, efficiency, and transparency within public institutions.
The Port of Acajutla remains one of El Salvador’s most important commercial gateways, playing a strategic role in trade, logistics, and regional economic activity. Officials maintain that strengthening customs systems and anti-corruption practices is essential for supporting secure commerce and modernizing the country’s trade infrastructure.
The initiative also reflects the broader commitment of the administration of Nayib Bukele to strengthen transparency, institutional efficiency, and anti-corruption mechanisms within the country’s customs and public systems. Authorities maintain that modernizing these processes is essential for protecting economic activity, facilitating secure trade, and improving public services for the benefit of the Salvadoran population.
